That is a beautiful 36 Weyersberg. Not sure how rare but, not seen often. Interesting is the last two digits of serial number stamped on grips. Maybe an early German refurb. Great 36 frog as well. There are guys who collect the late war bayonets and love them, but the early production ones are the ones for me. I have 7 pre-war (34 to 38) S84/98 III bayonets and wish I had more.

Yes looks like a nice S/176 from 1936, possible the grips were stamped by refurbishment, not typical to see a outside assembly marking. Interestingly the frog is same name as well known edge weapons maker of Solingen Lunneschloss.

I thought "52" was not assembly markings, but the last two digits of the serial number. It is also present on the flashguard:

Serial number was sometimes used as assembly but on this places is not typical, so is possible it was done by refurbishment of the piece.
